That is a great story. Thanks for sharing.
I have known guys at the PH that have had their cues stolen and the look on their face is one that I hope I never have to experienced. When I go to the restroom I take my cues with me. If someone ask me to watch their cue I never ever, ever take my eyes off of it not even for a moment! I have personally experienced a little lady come over and pick up my Blonde Xbreaker cue that was leaning on the table right by me and try and walk off with it to shoot pool with her girl friends. It was completely innocent I believe. She just saw a pretty stick (we know that girls like pretty) and must have thought that hey he already has one stick so I'll just take this one. I did not go off or anything but just think if I had not been there and found it missing and then found it with her. In the famous words of the Parlament Funkadelic "Mine your wants because there is somebody that wants your Mine"
had one destroyed once
An undercover or off-duty cop, maybe both, took a liking to my cue one night and claimed it was his. I had purchased it new and wasn't buying that BS. Eventually he attacked me and tried to take the cue away by force. Unfortunately the cue was between us when we went to the floor and the butt pretty much shattered. It wasn't an expensive cue but it was one I had played with for years so I was pretty spun. I made sure that I didn't leave even a splinter behind he could pick up.

Stolen cue
A guy I know of had a very unique cue stolen that he won at a tournament. Someone told this guy who had it so he calls and this person and he denies it. A year later he sees this person playing in a pool hall about fifty miles form where he usually hangs,,, with his stick! It actually had black spray paint on it. The guy still denies it is the same cue. An argument ensues the bar owner comes over to deal with it. The guy who's cue was stolen has this thing in his hand and says OK it is your cue then breaks it over his knee and walks out. End of story and what a waste of a pretty nice Falcon cue.

I guess this is robbed more than stolen, but I worked at a pool hall when I was 17. We were closing one night and the last table with 2 guys approach the counter. One pulls out a revolver and points it at the manager. I turn and I see the guy holding the gun I think to myself this is one of his friends-some joke! Then guy with the gun has us get on the floor, duct tapes our hands, kicks the manager in the head, while instructing the accomplice to '"get the cues." Glass display, 15-20 cues Schons, Joss, Meuccis, etc. I was getting minimum wage off the books and every week my entire pay would go towards a Joss. I must've worked 3 months to get that cue paid off and in 2 minutes it was gone with a Meucci Sneakey Pete in a Porrper case.
You scared me for a minute I thought I was going to read that your POW cue was stolen.
Just your words bring a bead of sweat to my forehead. 
I'm a helpful person, but!!!
I am a helpful person but you are on you own with this adventure. Good luck and hope your boxers have chalk marks on them!!

One time I lent a buddy of mine my truck. He left the door open in a wharehouse area in Denver. Someone stold my sneaky pete from a maker in Denver whose name escapes me. The funny thing is underneath that cue and a blanket was my Schon in an ostrich skin George case. I figured I got of cheap. Good luck getting your cue back JoeyA.
